How it feels

A whimsical, silent world where you solve puzzle-platforming challenges by recording and interacting with past selves in a playful chase for pie.

What players say

Players praise its silent film style, clever time-clone puzzles, and outstanding soundtrack. The game is short, around 4-5 hours, with later levels that become quite demanding. Some players find the execution-heavy puzzles frustrating, and opinions split on whether the controls feel precise or twitchy.
